Diversity
Northwestern McGaw Underrepresented Residents and Fellows Forum (NMURFF)
An inter-departmental group for trainees at Northwestern McGaw Center for Graduate Medical Education. The NMURFF leadership consists of residents and/or fellows who carry out programming in four areas: mentoring, networking & career development, outreach, and strategy & collaboration. NMURFF welcomes members of all backgrounds who support our mission. Our work centers on diversity and representation and is focused on (but not limited to) race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation.

Institute for Women’s Health Monthly Forum
The forums were introduced in 2008 to advance women’s health research at Northwestern and to increase awareness among health professionals, researchers and consumers that sex and gender matter in health and disease. Through the monthly forums, the Institute provides a platform for leading professionals to present their evidence-based research that focuses on basic science, clinical applications, or social implications of sexual dimorphisms.
